While the rest of the week was very informative, today was one for inspiration. In the morning, Victoria Vesna talked to us about her life. I found her life to be one of the most inspiration lives I’ve ever learned about. In my life, I am surrounded by people who are extremely unhappy with their places in the world. They go through their lives doing things they do not want to be doing, claiming that they have to continue living their lives the way they are. Instead of making the change and doing what they want, they say it is impossible to live any other way. From what I have heard of Victoria’s life, however, she always went after what she wanted to do. She has done everything from being an artist, being in a band, to now being the head SciArt department.
I stay up at night, tossing and turning in bed, worrying about if I am going to be happy in my life. My entire life, I 
have been preparing for college. From AP classes to SAT courses to this program, my parents have 
been making sure I can get into the best college possible. All this preparation makes me feel like I cannot try what I want and that if I end up doing something I do not want to do, I will have to stay doing that. By listening to someone as successful as Victoria talk about her life and how she pretty much just did whatever she wanted gives me the inspiration that I can do the same. I just have to actually DO it.
